IMPROVEMENT IN PORTABLE FENCES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,981, dated October 9, 1877; application filed September 8, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABsALoMS; UHANEY, of Flora, in the county of Clay and State of Illinois, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Portable Fences; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is arepresentation of an end view of my portable fence, and Fig. 2 is a side view thereof.

My present invention is intended as an i1nprovernent upon Letters Patent No. 191,113, granted to me May 22, 1877; and it consists in the means for holding the rider at the top of the fence, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The annexed drawing, to which reference is made, fully illustrates my invention.

The fence-posts at the divisions or intersections of the panels are composed of two inclined bars, A A, having their upper ends beveled to fit against the sides of the-horizontal rail, and the parts held together by wire a. To the inclined bars A A are fastened two other bars, 0 G, which are held by Wires 1) I) at their lower ends, and cross each other above the rail B, as described in my former patent above referred to.

1) represents the rider laid in the crotches of the inclined bars 0 O, and held in place thereon by means of pins (1 d, which are passed through wire eyes 0 c, fastened at suitable points in the bars 0 C. By this means the rider is held permanently in place.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the inverted V-shaped lower supports A with X-shaped upper supports 0 linked thereto, and provided with eyes 6, rails B, riders l), and pins (1, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
